Master Of Engineering (ME)

Engineers today are engaged in a variety of occupations and roles, including design and planning; investigation and analysis; research and development; manufacturing and production; construction; operations management; education; consulting; engineering sales and marketing; and administration and management. The management, design and analysis of engineering systems today involves the integration of specialised technical knowledge and expertise.

The ANU's new Master of Engineering degree is a one year coursework degree which provides an opportunity for professional advancement by providing conceptual and practical tools for systems engineering analysis, design and management together with technical knowledge and skills from a range of engineering discipline areas including

• Telecommunications
• Electronics
• Mechanical
• Robotics and Automation
• Manufacturing
• Solar Energy
• Materials
• Photonics
• Management
  

Objectives

The aims of the ME degree program include:

1. To develop within students the ability to interpret, manage, analyse and design systems as wholes, and as they relate to their environment, and to gain an appreciation of the complexity and dynamics involved in modern systems, including physical systems and socio-economic systems.
2. To provide management knowledge and skills relevant to innovation and system project management.
3. To deepen and extend students knowledge and skills in one or more discipline areas.
   

Upon completion of the ME degree program, students will have acquired knowledge and skills as follows:

1. A conceptual framework for systems engineering. This includes:
   1. An appreciation of what systems are, what characterize them, how components or sub-systems relate and work together, how systems interact with their environment, and the significance of complexity, dynamics and life-cycles. Also the need to consider factors such as safety, reliability, maintainability, serviceability, affordability, etc.
   2. An understanding of the need for systematic methodologies and tools for the management, specification, design, analysis and deployment of systems.
2. Specific tools and methods for systems engineering, including:
   1. Management and econometric tools
   2. Modeling
   3. Optimisation
   4. Queuing and control theory
3. A deeper and extended set of knowledge and skills in one or more discipline areas.
